Description

For our first Late Night Library series in 2017, we’re teaming up with Sydney-based storytellers Little Fictions. Over 6 nights, prepare to be entertained by a talented team of actors, artists and musicians who’ll bring local tales to life through a mix of original multimedia and live performance.

­Join composer and broadcaster, Julian Day for a mesmerizing hour of multiplatform storytelling by actors, visual artists, filmmakers and musicians. Texts performed include local Sydney stories straight out of Crown and Williams Street, Central and Circular Quay.

In 'The Most Beautiful Story In The World', Oliver Mol tells of migraines, Sydney's lockout laws, love and mental health. His performance will be accompanied by a slideshow of quirky images by Carla Uriarte and a haunting soundtrack.

Sydney actor, Lauren Hamilton Neill will perform ‘These Are the Fox: Dream’ by Melbourne writer, Cynthia Troup in which an urban-dweller is brought into sudden intimacy with the earth’s most widespread wild carnivore. Cross discipline artist, Peter Humble’s soundscape and manipulated 16mm film distil and magnify the strange vigour of this encounter.

In ‘Diurnal: Slurry Hills’, we present a multi-layered live performance of award-winning Sydney poet, Anna Kerdjick Nicholson’s word-portrait of her local suburb. The performance features new work by Iranian-born photographer, Damon Amb and performance by Sydney actor, Felix Johnson.

Experimental composer, Stephen Adams teams up with Sydney flâneur, Jen Craig and videomaker, Jon Steiner to perform an excerpt from Panthers and the Museum of Fire – a fictionalised memoir which is as much about Sydney as it is about its author.

Emerging artist Emily Twomey and composers, Thomas Ross and Victoria Tran have collaborated to produce unique story-poem films and at Off The Page these will be screened alongside live narrations by actor Adam Norris.

This series of Late Night Library is produced by City of Sydney and presented in collaboration with Little Fictions.

Late Night Library usually books out, so to avoid disappointment be sure to book for this event.
